Hi, I'm Andrea

I am the recipe developer, food stylist and photographer behind this blog, previously known as LYCHEES + LEGGINGS

I am a little bit obsessed with breakfasts, oat lattes and making granola. Most likely I am currently in my yoga outfit eating tahini by the spoonsful or drinking an oat latte while reading cookbooks.

I am very happy that you've found my little corner where I get to share my passion for

vegan & plant-based foods, wellness, health and fitness and some travel stories... simplifying a balanced lifestyle.

Seems like I might have started a mini stovetop granola series.
Here is another Stovetop granola… this time it’s my Coconut Lime Granola. Served on coconut yoghurt, with acai chia pudding, fresh papaya and a little bit more lime zest.

Stovetop Coconut and Lime Granola
1/3 cup (40g) rolled oats
1 tsp macadamia oil
1 -2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
1/4 cup large coconut flakes
A pinch of sea salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 heaped tsp desiccated coconut
Zest from 1 lime

Toast oats and coconut flakes in a dry pan until fragrant and lightly golden in colour.
Add the rest of the ingredients and toast in the pan until golden. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Let cool and enjoy with coconut yoghurt, fresh papaya and acai chia pudding. Drizzle with a little maple syrup if so desired.
To make the Acai Chia pudding I mixed 1 heaped teaspoon @soaringfreesuperfoods acai powder, 3 tbsp chia seeds, about 1 tbsp maple syrup and almond milk. Let sit for at least 15 -30 minutes.

Just me and a batch of my Sweet Potato Brownies.

I made these with Sweet Potatoes from my parent’s garden!! So good!

The recipe had a little update and a little face lift. You can find it on my blog!

Have you ever cooked with these tiny grains, called Amaranth?
They are highly nutritious, packed with complete plant protein, fibre, iron and magnesium.
This Cinnamon Pecan Amaranth Porridge is one of my go-to Amaranth recipes.

Soak 80g raw amaranth in cold water for about 20 minutes. Drain.
Add to a pot with 200ml water and a pinch of salt.
Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover with a lid and cook for 10 -15 min. Check after 10 minutes if it’s cooked or if it needs more water.
Stir in 2-3 tbsp plain (plant-based) yogurt and 1/2- 1 tsp cinnamon. Serve with chopped pecans, a dollop of yogurt, maple syrup or honey and hempseeds.

Creamy Cordyceps Mushroom Pasta
A wonderful dish to make for Father’s Day!

For 2 portions:

200g chestnut or portabellini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 - 2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced or diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped or sliced
2 tsp chopped, fresh chives
1 heaped tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp @soaringfreesuperfoods cordyceps mushroom powder
180g dried pasta of choice
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the water for the pasta (don’t forget to salt the water), boil the kettle and heat a deep pan to make the sauce.
Pour boiling water over the cashews and let them soften for 10 minutes. Make sure they are covered completely with water.
Add the pasta once the water is boiling and cook according to packaging instructions. Reserve one cup of the pasta water when draining the pasta.
Pour a tablespoon olive oil into the heated pan. Add the onions and saute for about 8 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and the sliced mushrooms to the pan and fry for another 8 - 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are lightly caramelised and have shrunken in size.
While the mushrooms are frying drain the cashews and transfer them to a high-speed blender, along with 1/2 cup fresh water. Blend until the sauce is completely smooth.
Once the mushrooms are cooked sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Pour the cashew cream and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water into the mushrooms. Cook for a couple minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cordyceps mushroom powder and chives. Add more pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Next, add the cooked pasta and mix to coat all over. Add more water if so required.
Serve with additional chopped chives and black pepper.

Pancakes are not only for Shrove Tuesdays.
These vegan-friendly matcha pancakes are made using @soaringfreesuperfoods matcha and are filled with vanilla (or coconut) yogurt and fresh mango pieces 👌🏻
You will want to make these as often as possible during mango season.

To make these I mixed 1 cup flour, 1 cup macadamia milk (or milk of choice), 1 tbsp sugar, a generous pinch of salt, 1 tbsp @soaringfreesuperfoods matcha powder. Whisk into a batter and ladle the batter into a hot pan. Swirl the pan to spread the batter into an even thickness circle. Fry on each side for 2-3 minutes. Add a dollop of vanilla or coconut yoghurt and a generous spoonful mango pieces. Fold and repeat with the rest. Dust with more matcha and sprinkle with hempseeds.

#vietnam #vietnamtravel

2025, you were something special ✨
It did of course come with its downs too, but it has been an incredible year!
A lot of firsts. A lot of flights. A lot of great food. A lot of beautiful memories created for which I am so grateful 🙏🏻

Happy New Year to each of you!
Here’s to an incredible 2026 🥂

“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions” - Dalai Lama

Small changes can have the biggest impact ✨

◽️Don’t let life pass you by - Take time for the things and the people you love.
◽️ Be present! Especially when you are spending time with a loved one or doing something you really love. Be present!
◽️Take time for yourself. It’s okay to take care of yourself too. Physically, mentally and emotionally. It is not selfish. It is a necessity!
◽️ Remind yourself that you are exactly where you need to be right now. It doesn’t always make sense but everything happens with a purpose. It happens the way it should.
◽️ It’s okay to not be where you thought you “should” be by now. Instead see this “slower route” as an opportunity to see and experience more along the way.
◽️It’s not too late to make the changes you need.
◽️It’s okay to follow your own path.
◽️Nutrition is fuel. The quality of fuel you give your body will determine how well your body works.
◽️ It’s okay to eat that slice of cake or to enjoy a glass of wine without any guilt.
